Hello Steffen,
I'm in the operations team and am currently developing an interface to control the Apache load balancer via PS. For example, the “draining mode” should be switched on or off for individual members using a script.
Since I couldn't find anything on the Internet as to why Apache always logs "ignoring params in balancer-manager cross-site access (null): localhost" when executing a script, I would like to turn to this forum. I have a simple script that I would like to use to implement this. The script is executed on the same server where the balancer manager is running.
| Code: |
$BalancerManagerUrl = "http://localhost/balancer-manager"
$BalancerName = "valuemation1"
# Definiere die Aktionen, die ausgeführt werden sollen
$DrainWorkerUrl = "${BalancerManagerUrl}?b=${BalancerName}&dw=Enable"
$DrainSessionUrl = "${BalancerManagerUrl}?b=${BalancerName}&bs=Enable&w_status_D=1"
# Sende die Anfragen an den balancer-manager
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $DrainWorkerUrl
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $DrainSessionUrl
|
Since I don't know the exact switches and parameters, I tried different things. But I can't even get that far. And here is the relevant excerpt from httpd.conf.

Regarding your error messages "ignoring params in balancer-manager cross-site access (null): localhost".
If you look at the source code for mod_proxy_balancer.c, you'll see this occurs when the referer header in your web request fails to match the host of the request. It's a basic XSRF check, on the basis the requesting host should already be approved to access the balancer manager.
However, beyond setting up a request header with the appropriate 'Referer' for your Invoke-WebRequest, I believe your Powershell script is going to need some further enhancements, not least of which is interactive changes to the balancer manager state are made through POST requests.
What I suggest you do is use a Developer Tools window on a browser, connected to your balancer manager, and look at the appropriate GET query string requests and POST parameters when making changes. You'll then need to match these with revised Invoke-WebRequest operations.
One other problem you'll face is that any changes will also need the correct server supplied NONCE passing in query strings (to prevent CSRF attacks). You'll be able to extract that from the hrefs returned in the initial balancer manager response.
You should be able to work out various balancer manager command switches and parameters by looking at the balancer_process_balancer_worker() function.
Hope this helps. |
